As AI technologies rapidly evolve, the laws and ethical standards designed to govern them lag behind, creating a mismatch in the pace of innovation and regulation. This misalignment often leads to inadequate alignment with core principles such as trustworthiness, safety, and ethics. For AI leaders, mastering governance strategies that drive alignment with these core principles is key to ensuring the organization’s risk profile is effectively managed.

In the evolving landscape of risk management, the integration of CROs and CISOs is quickly emerging. This new reporting structure empowers both CROs and CISOs to work synergistically, leveraging their combined expertise to protect the organization's assets, reputation, and strategic objectives in a rapidly changing threat landscape. It also creates a more cohesive and comprehensive approach to ensure that security becomes an enabler for faster, smoother business transactions rather than a bottleneck.

Bright Horizons
There are two kinds of companies, those that had an AI Security/Privacy Incident, and those that will. Artificial Intelligence brings both groundbreaking opportunities and considerable risks. To effectively manage these risks, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published a risk management framework. However, this framework does not fully address the pressing question for cybersecurity experts: how to prevent or respond and recover.

Third party relationships are closest and may prove to be the most tangible risks to your business, yet the whole supply chain of your business partners still pose a substantial threat. Most organizations’ vendor relationships extend to the 8th party. CISOs need to understand this web of connectedness in order to better manage and communicate enterprise risk.
